  • One embodiment provides a method to filter information sent by broadcast and multicast services using location criteria for potential target users such that the proportion of users who receive the information and need to receive the information is significantly increased without reducing the number of such users.
  • the method and apparatus is applicable whenever location plays some role in determining the set of target users.
  • filtering increases the number of user's of mobile terminals who receive information that actually can use the received information. This may be accomplished, in part or in whole, by increasing the proportion of mobile terminals who can use the received information on behalf of users who can use the received information.
  • the mobile terminal may play a lesser or no role in supporting further filtering where the granularity of targeting is precise. Reaching those that can use the received information can also be done by increasing the proportion of mobile terminals who receive information on behalf of users who can use the received information in which case the mobile terminal may play a greater role in supporting further filtering.
  • a new type of filter based on location information and location related criteria is disclosed.
  • a broadcast sender is allowed to define particular location criteria that a prospective target mobile terminal satisfies in order to be enabled to receive the broadcast information or to pass on the broadcast information to the user or in order to receive or pass on the information with a particular priority indication.
  • the criteria can include in various embodiments, but are not limited to, the following:
  • the altitude could be specified as a range within which or outside of which the target mobile terminal needs to be.
  • Future location as defined in (a) and/or (b) of a target mobile terminal at some specific future time or during a range of future times or at any time in the future. Future location might be based on an extrapolation of the mobile terminal's current movement or, in some instances, on the user of the mobile terminal's known intent or requirement to be in or near some location or outside of or away from some location at a future time. For example, the user may have entered a target address into a routing function of the mobile terminal.
  • any logical combination of the above criteria could be used to provide finer levels of filtering by combining two or more of the above criteria using logical “and”, logical “or” and logical “not” operations.
  • information on the blockage of a major highway in one direction but not the other might be associated with location criteria identifying moving mobile terminals in the immediate vicinity of the blockage (e.g., users who might be considering entering the highway), plus (logical “or”) mobile terminals whose current location, speed and bearing implied possible arrival at the blockage before it was likely to be cleared.
  • a tornado alert might be sent to target mobile terminals in a certain tall building whose altitude above a certain floor level placed them in greater jeopardy such that they are notified.
  • information regarding the finding of a lost item (e.g., watch, jewelry, money) in a shopping mall might be sent to target mobile terminals whose previous location at or near the time of discovery placed them in or near the shopping mall.
  • the above criteria could be combined with certain non-geographic criteria such as the nature of the broadcast message (e.g., personal, job related, public, or emergency), the time at which the information becomes significant (e.g., date at which a sales event will occur) and the category of sender (e.g., user's wireless network operator, friend/relative, employer, public safety).
  • Any filtering operation may then combine all the available criteria and determine the usefulness (e.g., priority to the user), the mode in which the information will be presented (e.g., whether using audible, visual and/or tactile signals) and possibly the time at which the information will be presented (e.g. whether immediately, at some defined later time or only when the user later makes some request to become aware of new information).
  • the filtering operation itself could be performed by the network and/or by the user's wireless terminal and/or by the user in various embodiments.
  • Manual filtering by the user may be regarded as a last resort, to be avoided if at all possible, due to the possibility of delay and error as well as disturbing the user in cases where the user ends up discarding the message.
  • the network may obtain information regarding the current location, altitude, speed and bearing of a prospective target wireless terminal by determining the position of the mobile terminal or by querying another entity (e.g., a Position Determination Entity (PDE) or Serving Mobile Location Center (SMLC) or the user equipment (UE) itself).

  • the communication network may retrieve historic location information obtained and stored previously or query some server for this information.
  • the network may also attempt to extrapolate or otherwise predict the mobile terminal's future location or a range of possible future locations, based for example on the mobile terminal's current location, speed and bearing. Based on this location information and the location criteria associated with the broadcast, the network may determine whether the particular broadcast information should or should not be sent to the mobile terminal.
  • the network may determine that the broadcast information should be sent to the mobile terminal but with some priority or other indication indicating the level of importance to assist the mobile terminal in deciding whether and when to access the information.
  • the priority or similar indication might be determined by both the importance of the broadcast information itself and the degree to which the mobile terminal's location information matched the associated location criteria.
  • the priority indication could then enable an appropriate means of alerting the mobile terminal user to the availability of the information. For example, for particularly urgent information that the user should access immediately, the mobile terminal, based on a high indicated priority, may alert the user immediately by means of audible, visual and/or tactile (e.g., vibrational) cues.
  • the priority may instead indicate less urgent, though still possibly important information, that the user should access soon but not necessarily immediately.
  • the mobile terminal might just provide a low level audible indication (e.g. several beeps) and/or visual cue (e.g., screen icon).
  • the information may be broadcast or multicast to a set of mobile terminals based on coarse filtering criteria such as membership of a multicast group and/or service in particular cell-sectors of a wireless network.
  • the information may be accompanied by the associated location criteria.
  • the mobile terminal would obtain the current location information for the mobile terminal, for example by using such existing positioning methods as A-GPS, GPS, E-OTD, Advanced Forward Link Trilateration (A-FLT), OTDOA, cell-sector ID, enhanced cell ID or some combination of these methods or, in future, methods that might make use of new satellite positioning systems such as the European GALILEO system.
  • the mobile terminal could also retrieve previous location information and predict future location information through immediately preceding location readings or through historical patterns. For example, the same path may be taken most mornings in a work commute such that the next day, the mobile terminal may predict another work commute similar to prior commutes or may predict such another work commute when location changes start to replicate what was observed in previous commutes.
  • the terminal compares the location information with the location criteria for the broadcast information and determines whether the information should be presented to the user and, if so, with what priority. Once the terminal has determined whether the user should be presented with, or alerted to the presence of, the information and has possibly obtained a particular priority, the terminal may treat the information the same as if the network had made this determination and provided any priority information—e.g., it may alert the user immediately for any particularly urgent information or may provide less urgent possibly delayed alerting for lower priority information.
  • the Table lists exemplary customized alerts for various classes of location-based messages. The user can interact with an application or web screen or a screen of the wireless terminal to configure alerts.

  • the mobile terminal performs filtering based on location information included in the information being broadcast and location information for terminal, it may be possible to determine whether the information should be provided to the user before all the information has been received. If the determination is not to present the information to the mobile terminal, it would be possible for the terminal to discontinue receipt of the broadcast information, thereby potentially saving terminal resources (e.g., battery, processor, memory) and a possible monetary charge for receiving the broadcast information (which may have unnecessarily used reverse link resources) and/or freeing up terminal resources for other tasks.
  • terminal resources e.g., battery, processor, memory
  • a possible monetary charge for receiving the broadcast information which may have unnecessarily used reverse link resources
  • filtering in both the network and terminal—for example, coarse filtering in the network and away from the mobile terminal based on approximate location information indicated by terminals presence in particular cells and cell-sectors and finer more comprehensive filtering in terminals. Both modes of filtering could also be employed to support subsets of terminals that could not support filtering themselves—in that case, the network might perform filtering for these subsets of terminals with other terminals that were capable of performing filtering doing this for themselves.
  • the communication network may have little or no knowledge of the locations and/or identities of prospective wireless terminals. No knowledge of location could occur, for example, with a user whose terminal was accessing a WLAN when the WLAN or WLAN location was unknown or not reliably known to the wireless network. No knowledge of identity and location may occur with any wireless technology when potential recipient mobile terminals act passively (e.g., when the wireless terminal is not required to support a call or other user related activity) and does not identify themselves to the network as potential recipients for a particular broadcast. This may occur to reduce signaling overhead or if the broadcast/multicast solution is not able to identify some or all recipient users. In such cases, the network may need to broadcast information to a much larger set of mobile terminals than the intended recipients and rely on location filtering in the mobile terminals to appropriately accept the information and pass it to the users.
  • the network or mobile terminal may employ a database or other method to convert geographic location information (e.g. latitude/longitude) into a civic form (e.g. street address, building identification) and compare this with any civic related location criteria.
  • the network or mobile terminal may also employ both civic and geographic (e.g. latitude/longitude) types of location information and criteria. For example, in order to determine if a moving mobile terminal is likely to reach a blockage on a major highway before the blockage is likely to be cleared, it may be necessary to establish that the mobile terminal is actually traveling along the highway by means of successive geographic location fixes whose conversion into a civic form, or comparison with civic mapping information, verifies locations along the highway.
  • Other civic mapping could include recognizing country/state/county/city boundaries. Messages could be realized on mobile terminals according to their location relative to the civic boundaries.
  • a possible or actual threat or danger e.g., fire, terrorism, tornado, earthquake, storm surge, industrial accident, structural failure, and/or impairment to a building, road, bridge, or tunnel.

For example, mobile terminals 128 - 1 and 128 - 2 are traveling down the same road in one direction and mobile terminals 128 - 3 and 128 - 6 are traveling in the opposite direction.
  • a geographic location criteria can be defined to include 128 - 1 and 128 - 2 and/or 128 - 3 and 128 - 6 .
  • the message sent to the mobile terminals of the geographic location criteria could be a traffic alert that is germane to the street traveled upon. Seven mobile terminals 128 are within the communication range 304 of the selected base station 120 , but only two are traveling in the correct direction to be included in the geographic location for this embodiment.
  • FIG. 3C a diagram of yet another embodiment of a geographic layout 300 - 3 is shown depicting a number of mobile terminals 128 .
  • This embodiment broadcasts a message to a third 304 - 2 of a circular cell emanating from the base station.
  • the message indicates the geographic location criteria 304 - 1 is limited to a square section within that third 304 - 2 . Only two mobile terminals 128 - 1 , 128 - 2 would accept and use the message for a possible alert. Other mobile terminals 128 could receive the message but would discontinue receipt or ignore it or provide it to the user with low priority when the mobile terminal's location is determined to be outside the geographic location criteria.
  • FIG. 4A a flowchart of an embodiment of a process 400 - 1 for filtering multi-destination messages is shown.
  • the depicted portion of the process begins in block 404 where alerts are configured for various message types. This configuration could take place with the mobile terminal 128 or through an application or web interface to the system controller 112 .
  • a message is received by the system controller 112 with the location criteria for the message in block 408 .
  • the message and location criteria may be stored in databases 110 , 116 .
  • Transmission resources are determined for the geographic location criteria in block 412 , which could include selecting a number of base stations and/or a number of groupings of base stations that cover the geographic location criteria.
  • This embodiment broadcasts the message with embedded location criteria metadata in block 416 .
  • the message is received by one or more mobile terminals 128 in block 420 .
  • the mobile terminal 128 either determines its location or uses a location externally relayed to the mobile terminal 128 in block 424 .
  • the geographic location criteria is analyzed in block 428 and a determination is made in block 432 to see if the location of the mobile terminal 128 satisfies the criteria.
  • the process 400 - 1 ends where the location criteria is not satisfied and processing of the message stops.
  • An accepted message is further processed to determine and present any appropriate alerts.
  • the class of the message is determined. These classes correspond to groupings of message types configured in block 404 . For example, a severe weather alert may be classified at the same level as an airplane delay notice. Once the class is known, the configured alert can be delivered in block 440 . For example, the class may result in vibratory alert and screen message. Once the alert is delivered, processing ends in this embodiment. Some embodiments may continue to deliver the alert until turned off permanently or temporarily.
  • FIG. 4B a flowchart of another embodiment of a process 400 - 2 for filtering multi-destination messages is shown. This embodiment is performed the same as the embodiment of FIG. 4A through block 416 . Processing goes from block 416 to block 424 where the location of the mobile terminal is determined using the mobile terminal 128 alone, external to the mobile terminal 128 or with a combination of the mobile terminal and other components. Receipt of the message is begun in block 421 .
  • the criteria are analyzed in block 428 . Where the location criteria are not satisfied by the location of the mobile terminal 128 , the remainder of the message is not received and the process 400 - 2 ends. Should the criteria be satisfied, the remaining portions of the message are received in block 423 before completing blocks 436 and 440 in the same manner as the embodiment of FIG. 4A .
  • FIG. 4C a flowchart of yet another embodiment of a process 400 - 3 for filtering multi-destination messages is shown.
  • This embodiment behaves the same as the embodiment of FIG. 4A through block 412 .
  • the mobile terminals within the location criteria are determined 414 .
  • the system controller 112 knows the location of each mobile terminal and can make the determination of which ones qualify under the location criteria.
  • the message is multicasted to one or more mobile terminals 128 using the appropriate base stations 120 .
  • the communication system includes means for receiving messages 504 , first means for determining 508 , means for transmitting 512 , and second means for determining 516 .
